GBrowse announces Summer School

The GMOD team is running another set of workshops for learning how to use and administer a number of tools associated with this project. This would be a great opportunity to beef up your skill set at a time of increasing need for these tools. As more and more genomes and data sets are sequenced, managing, annotating, and visualizing all this data will only become more important. Of course, if you don’t need to administer the tools and a tutorial for end users is what you need, you can see our new GBrowse User Tutorial for free to learn more about GBrowse.

GMOD is offering two Summer Schools in 2009, one on each side of the Atlantic. GMOD Summer Schools

(http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Summer_School) introduce new GMOD users to the GMOD project and include several days of hands-on training on how to install, configure and administer GMOD tools.The 2008 GMOD Summer School was a great success with 25 students from 4 countries in attendance.

*** Enrollment is limited to 25 participants in each course. If applications exceed capacity (and we expect they will) then applicants will be picked based on the strength of their application. Applicants will be notified of their admission status by mid April.
